A Young Mans Luck.

The methods by which men make a
livelihood are constantly disclosing nov
city and ingenuity. About a year ago I
observed here In the streets a young man
whom I had known out west, who had
some artistic ability but had not shown
any particular capacity for getting along
in the world. From his appearance he
seemed to he "down on his luck" / met
him during the past week entirely
changed in his personal aspect and hay
ing an air of prosperity in marked con-
rrast to his former looks. In CONVERSE
ton l found that he had ''struck it rich'
by carving mems names upon canes. His
first conception Of this idea was to secure
a valuable stick and carve a handsome
cane head on it. Then he introduced him
self TO members of military companies
and induced them to purchase the stick
with their names carved upon 1t to pre-
sent to their commanding officers. The
novelty became popular, and has ex-
tended to all sorts of organizations, SO
that he is now obliged TO hire two or
three wood carvers to do the manual
labor while he himself attends to the
work Of procuring orders. New York

An Odd Real Estate Story.

In a real estate Office the other day I
heard O gentleman relating the experience
of an eastern friend of his who many years
ago, for a bad u debt OF SEQ, 900. was
compelled to accept western land of the
estimated value OF $751; 600. He paid con-
stantly increasing axe upon the land for
Il number of years without going To see it.
One day his agent photographed him, ask
ing what he would take for the land, which
had finally com to tie far within the cor
porate limits Of Chicago. The owner fig
ured that, taxes and interest, the land had
cost him $50, 600, and more in a joke than
anything else, not dreaming that the Of
fer would be accepted, wrote a telegram
saying that he would take $4,000 cash
for the property. He sent the message Ivy
his office boy to the telegraph Office,
where the clerk insisted that the sum be
spelled out in the message. The Office
boy rewrote it, and by mistake wrote
$500, 600 instead Of $50, 600.
In an hour back came the reply: "Offer
OF half q million dollars accepted. Make
deed and come ON and get certified
check" The mar made the office boy a
handsome present for his clerical error
and gave his old time debtor $25, 900 with
which TO re-establish himself in business.
